Wasn't a fan of Brie Larson, and that might have been influenced by how social media depicted her... regardless, began watching this expecting not to like it... given her character having a robotic personality, being socially clueless, and seemingly preachy, I thought this was going the same way that I had expected from the oddball that she, as an actor, was painted to be... infact, episode 2 being a dog's POV had me heaving a sigh of relief, to not have to deal with the actress...
Then imagine by surprise by end of episode 3, I was totally invested in the character, and her ordeals... so much so that, by end of episode 4, I couldn't stand to wait anymore; and picked up the book it was based on... it is one of the very few instances, when I have picked up a book, mid-series... by the end of episode 8, the series had sufficient changes to the book's narration, regardless, it was all in character... though I must confess to have liked the book ending better, I can't fault the choices that the character of Elizabeth Zott, makes in this series... very very plausible...
The rest of the casting is brilliant at the role they play... and have great chemistry between them (pun intended)... this is one mini-series, where I have felt the need to update my rating, almost every week... I might possibly rate this a 10, if I ever revisit this... my favourite show in 2023 by a mile...
Season 1: terrible
Season 2: Okay
Season 3: AMAZING
Season 4: alright
Season 5: Terribleeee
Sam is a terrible person. This show is not about insider trading but an exploration in to how terrible of a person Sam is.
The story is about Sam who has a gambling problem & a serial liar with 0 redeeming qualities. Literally there is not a single good thing about Sam that you can feel for. And the writers make it so that she gets out from every hole she digs herself into with no retribution.
The writers could’ve done a better job. It’s a train wreck of a show. I would not recommend this show to anyone.
Neat concept but too many cliches to list. It’s like they used AI to write a sitcom script as it checks all the boxes.
It’s not my cup of tea and I don’t plan to I watch the rest after a couple of episodes. it’s cute at times, but there are too many annoying supporting cast characters that bug me.
I really think some people don't understand the history behind the "history" that are watching at all. Many people 'see', but not 'observe'.
This series have a lot of connotations, such politics and social, from a showdown with a dictator; unto to release of real feelings. Almost all characters have a full evolution of her personality... even Naga hahaha.
At first I agree looks like a little child's series, but think is a masterpiece in all respects. I recommend this series to all public, seen or not any other series of the Avatar's universe.
PS. James Cameron's 'Avatar' not included. xD
Super hilarious right until the end and refreshing cinematography :sparkles: i enjoyed every second of the show
Great show -- if all the episodes were released at once, I wouldn't sleep ;-)
Episode S04E03
It's getting harder and harder to ignore the Woke nonsense coming from the show. In the first scene of the episode, they have people who are essentially interviewing for a job(New residents looking to get hired by the hospital) talking about their sexual preferences. Why would anyone go: "I graduated from so and so, did so and so projects, and also, I'm gay." Why?
Later Browne and Reznic are having a heated argument and a guy tries to diffuse the situation, so they snap at him for 'mansplaining' after which they forget about their argument.
And then later, they asked the residents an open question and one of them hesitates goes like "Emm...." so the same guy steps in and gives his answer. What do they do? Of course, chastize him for daring to interrupt a woman. Even though the woman didn't say anything besides 'emm' they tell him that "He doesn't always need to be the one to speak first". And who chastised him? Dr. Reznic. A character who has 'do whatever it takes to win" personality and will do anything to advance her career even at others' expense. Suddenly this character cares sees something wrong with being the first to speak, when she did the exact same thing to Claire Browne when they were residents.
Later the senior residents talk about the new residents, they say they want to convince Dr. Lim not to hire the mansplaining guy. Because he's arrogant. Yet they praise another doctor(a woman) who is more opinionated than the mansplaining guy as confident. And that's a plus. So when a guy talks first and gives his opinion, he's a bad doctor, because he's arrogant. Yet when a woman does the same thing, it's good, because she's confident.
Also, can you guess what ethnicity this 'asshole' guy is? Do you really need to guess? It's obvious it's the only white straight male in the resident pool. And of course in the end they did not hire him, because he's 'obnoxious' and 'arrogant'. As if Dr. Mendez wasn't obnoxious and arrogant and as if arrogance isn't a common trait in surgeons.
I found this to be a fun lighthearted reinterpretation of chinese stories they do alot of homages to kungfu movies which is great definitely a safe way to get the family into kungfu films or shows
Terrible show with unlikable characters. Stupid plot, atrocious writing with even worse acting. The plot holes are deeper than the Challenger Deep.
And don’t make me talk about the cinematography, editing and sets.
A really bad show. They have fooled me alright. Subpar plot with worse actors. Main actress has one expression she uses the entire time. So many subplots were introduced and were never resolved. Acting was really bad from almost everyone involved. The last episode I couldn't even finish. I wanted to write a very long review, picking apart every aspect of this show, but it really isn't worth my time. I would skip this one people and try and find something else to watch.
Harlan Coben adapted on British TV is something I will avoid from now on. The plot is overly complex to look smart and oh so mysterious when in fact it is full of plot holes, characters acting beyond common sense, etc. Acting is so so, this is overlong......Try the first episode at your own risk, but if you don;t like it that much, don;t waste any more time like we did. Definitely not worth it
How did they get these actors I don't understand. It's bad. Career killer bad.
I don't really know what to make of this show or how to rate it. Two identical twin sisters who constantly swap their lives back and forth, all apparently because of some incident that triggered their bizarre behaviour. The story starts off OK, to such an extent that I thought it might actually be good, for the first 3-4 episodes but in the later episodes, where they actually start to explain (some!) of the story it starts to tail off drastically. The acting isn't particularly good, which doesn't help, but there are just too many things that just aren't explained. At first we are led to think that there's some reason for their behaviour and some sinister secret that the story is heading towards but as the story unfolds there are just too many threads that are revealed only to go nowhere. It then changed from being confusing because likely there's some plot and a reason to just plain confusing where the confusion, rather than the story (which largely gets ignored and dropped mid-stream), becomes the whole point of the show, such that, other than the confusion over who is who at any given time, there's no actual point to watching as it constantly goes nowhere. The show was definitely at least 2 episodes too long and identity switching just isn't a compelling enough story in its own right to make for good viewing, that coupled with the lame acting and poor writing (the incompetence of the Sheriff's Dept in the final episode is beyond belief, along with the totally eyebrow raising vanishing and re-appearance of one or both of the twins with zero thought given to how credible it is) means that I certainly won't be around for any season 2! I find it also quite surprising that for a mini-series, the ending seems to be a set up for a season 2, either that or ending was even more lame than I thought!
After 4 seasons, I think many people could watch themselves reflect in Devi's life, a person with intense emotions, kinda crazy, growing, finding herself, embracing her culture, creating strong relationships with her mom and family. Such a funny show.
This coming-of-age drama is extremely watchable, with a good balance of humour and heart. The casting is great. Will probably appeal more to teens and women than adult men. Only complaint is that Ben Gross is an anti-Semitic portrayal in the first season that doesn't upend the tropes it's playing on but instead reinforces them; this is consciously dialed back in the second season and beyond.
Episodes random order is such a bad idea 6 /10
I looked at it according to the chronological order. Find it makes no sense at all otherwise.
VIOLET: 24 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
GREEN: 7 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
YELLOW: 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
ORANGE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
BLUE: 5 DAYS BEFORE THE HEIST
WHITE: THE HEIST
RED: THE MORNING AFTER THE HEIST
PINK: 6 MONTHS AFTER
Overall it was a good show. I liked the way he utilized wit and fast talking to get out of random situations. The action and story were good and kept the show moving forward.
My main complaint is about the ending. Of all streaming networks, why doesn't Netflix actually end a series with an actual ending? The way they cancel shows this one may end up with a cliffhanger that never gets finished which would be a big disappointment. They could have easily finished up this part of the story in a different way to put a cap on the 1st season.
i'm curious why this is so highly rated...? i watched it a few years ago and was like "whatever, i guess it's got some emotion-inducing stuff." but then i rewatched and felt myself cringing at the fact that i wasn't cringing the first time i watched this lol. maybe max richter's original compositions for the show distracted me (though they were way overused)
i'm especially confused as to why the episode "international assassin" is the highest rated episode of the series on IMDB?? that's the episode that gave me the most eyerolls for non-religious related reasons lmao, even my first watch through
i've watched a lot of tv, and i enjoy most of it because i can find genuine enjoyment out of "bad tv" too. but this just gave me too much second-hand embarrassment. i mean, the promo posters alone..
i do see where some people might get enjoyment from watching the show, so no judgement or whatever
Season 1 was excellent; season 2 bombed; season 3 they tried to fix it with 'alternate timelines': each time the plot failed, they wrote it off as an alternate-timeline and then threw it out. There were lots of timelines, none of them worked. A shame the quality of season 1 couldn't be continued :-(
It's an ok show.
For my taste, it was too much like a parody sometimes. Lots of clichés and stereotypes, lots of over the top (quite frankly not very good) acting, lots of dumb jokes.
In this same quick, comedic style, Younger is a much better show. And fashion wise, I'd stick with The Bold Type, or even the timeless Devil Wears Prada.
The potential was there, but the execution was sloppy. I hope they get better writers if it gets picked up for a second season.
Goodbye! While the final season was all over the place especially after the multiple breaks … it is now understandable why it happened that way: sudden cancellation when they have planned for it longer … not easy to suddenly cut it short.
Hopefully we'll see another spin-off of the original franchise and see character cameos to connect the worlds/series.
Again, thank you Legacies actors and staff! It has been a very fun ride!
Please don't be cancelled please don't be cancelled please don't be cancelled...
Enjoyable fantasy. Liked THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES ? You'll like this one too. Hope amazon can do as good a job with thier tolkien adventure/comedy/drama.
I want expecting much when it came up as a suggestion in my prime lists.
if you're a homophob, not for you.
if you're not into girl power, strong women, not for you.
if you're racist, not going to be for you.
if you like fantasy, crossed with "crime" solving, military-ish with superwomen? you're in luck.
it's surprisingly engaging. charmed with a while lot more kick-assery going on.
Freddie is still wimpy with women, but less likable as they’ve added a sarcastic, absurdly mean little stepdaughter to push him around, so now he looks inept too. Carly’s internet show still has the humor of an 8 yr old boy. And Spencer is still an obnoxious man child. Apparently the writers of this show have forgotten that the kids who watched iCarly are in their 20s and 30s now, because they didn’t let any of the characters grow up. It’s just the same humorless antics as the original plus new, bad jokes about woke/cancel culture (sometimes pro, sometimes con, but always falling flat). They basically took a kids show formula and added light curse words and sex references to say “Hey, we’re big kids now!”
Nothing tastes as good as salty dude bro tears, honestly watching all these men have a tantrum makes this even better.
As a nineties kid I never watched HeMan, and honestly it’s too dated for me to enjoy at this point, so I am coming in fresh here. But this is amazing animation, and incredible voice talent.
The story is compelling and enjoyable, with twists and wonderful female empowerment. This is modern animation at its finest and I am very invested in the future of this program.
I hope to see queer representation also as was done with She-Ra.
